Columbia And Will Smith's Company Risking A RISK Movie?!
Columbia Pictures & Overbrook Entertainment (Will Smith's company) are developing a movie based on the RISK game.
Columbia's Doug...
...Belgrad pointed to the success of movies from toys Transformers and G.I. Joe (but not to the dismal movie from the board game Clue) to claim audiences have "shown a great desire for films that bring to life everything that has made these franchise properties stand the test of time. The strategic thinking and the tactical gambles that players must take in the game are what make RISK a classic, thoroughly engaging game. Those elements translated into an action-packed, thrilling story are what will make this a uniquely exciting movie.”
